One-Step Inequalities

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions using symbols such as >, <, ≥, or ≤.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean in inequalities?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, x > 5 means x is greater than 5.

Front

What does the symbol '<' mean in inequalities?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, x < 3 means x is less than 3.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x - 9 > 10?

Back

Add 9 to both sides: x > 19.

Front

How do you solve the inequality m / 7 > -14?

Back

Multiply both sides by 7: m > -98.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -5m < 10?

Back

Divide both sides by -5 (remember to flip the inequality): m > -2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by -8 (remember to flip the inequality): x > -6.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 > 7?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.

Front

What is the solution set of the inequality x > 19?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers greater than 19.

Front

What is the solution set of the inequality m > -98?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers greater than -98.
